Gen. 1. v. 3. Which alone, saith he (meaning the creation of the world by the word of God) is sufficient to refu•e the blasphemy of Servetus. Here the foul-mouthed heast doth bark. saying that this was the first beginning of the Word, when God commanded that there should be light. Whereas much better might be inferred the eternal essence thereof, considering that there we•e upon the sudden created by the word of God, such things as before were not Where fore the Apostles proof of Christs Divinity stands with good reason, that whereas he is the Word of GOD, by him were all things created.

Exod. 3. v. 2. Proving that Christ was that Angel of the Lord, he writeth after this manner: The ancient Doctors […] truly think that the eternal ⟨p. 40⟩Son of God was so called in respect of his Mediatorship. And shortly after No marvel therefore if the eternal word of God, being one & the same in essence and deity with the father, took upon him the name of a• angel, in regard of he embassage by him afterward to be undertake. The two oracles of Isaiah in the 7. cha. and 4. v. touching the fruit of the virgins womb called Immanuel: & in the 9. cap. & 6. v. concerning a son given unto us, he doth so violently extort from the Jews, & so strongly prove them to be meant of the only begotten son of God borne of the virgin Mary, that no man lightly could have done it better. And where Jeremiah in his 3. ca. & 5. v. speaketh of raising up a bud or branch unto David, he useth these words: Here therefore God recalleth them unto the Messiah. And soon after, Without doubt here the Prophet speaketh of Christ. Where also at largely refuteth the Jews, endeavouring to stream this branch to all the posterity of David. And after against the same Jews: One & the same redeemer as called as well the son of David as Jehovah. How is he called the son of David? because he was to […] of that live. How then Jehovah? Hence truly is gathered that […] there is some thing more excellent the man and he is called Jehovah or the Lord, because he is the only begotten son of God one altogether with the father in nature, glory, eternity, & Divinity.
